Cervin

Cervin is a name known to the whole world of leg wear and every fashionista who takes their hold ups or stockings seriously. But what exactly is so special about this particular brand? So many names in the leg wear world wouldn't exist without Cervin having been producing beautiful stockings for as long as they have.

Cervin Stockings

They were the first company to pioneer fully fashioned stockings. Cervin kept the backseam stockings alive for decades after it was created and even revived its use when it was no longer needed for manufacturing and was solely a cosmetic and aesthetic addition. They have single handedly revived the styles of the 1930s and 1940s in an era that has almost entirely abandoned the art of making stockings by hand. Cervin are also are one of only a handful of designers that are still producing their beautiful leg wear in Paris to this day, with not a single sock or seam being shipped abroad for production. This dedication has made Cervin stockings a byword for beautiful and has forged a special legacy as one of traditional hosiery's most respected houses.

Cervin Hosiery

But what has made Cervin such a fantastic designer? Partly it is the hiring of good talent, and the keen eye they have for what will turn into a lasting feature of the leg wear landscape and what will be a short lived trend. But really, we think it is their experience. Cervin were founded more than a century ago. They have been making beautiful leg wear for longer than most other designers out there and longer than several younger designers combined. Cervin have seen what works and what does not many times before and they have adjusted their design philosophy each year accordingly. They have so much knowledge and experience behind them that there is no substitute in any other area of the leg wear world.

It is that unbeatable experience that has given Cervin its reputation for luxury. Truly luxurious hosiery is only possible when you combine great materials with the know how of a time served designer, and Cervin have this ability to create beautiful leg wear with a century of learning behind them. Another key to making luxury items is choosing what is important and what to say no to. We are always overjoyed to see their new items arrive with us each year, but compared to design houses of a similar size, their new items are a very small selection.
